Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) is again simplifying
Linux and open source development with the release of its next
generation Mentor® Embedded Linux platform. The Mentor Embedded
Linux platform includes support for the Yocto Project, an open
source collaborative project established by The Linux Foundation.
By leveraging the Yocto Project, the Mentor Embedded Linux platform
helps developers easily build Linux-based embedded systems,
independent of hardware architecture. With the new Mentor Embedded
Linux platform, developers also gain the ability to easily select
the best Linux kernel for their needs, whether that kernel was
developed by Mentor Graphics, by a semiconductor company, or by any
third party.
“Mentor Graphics is a key contributor to the Yocto Project and
OpenEmbedded community by providing open source tools and
expertise,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director of The Linux
Foundation. “Their support for the Yocto Project, and creation of
free PandaBoard and BeagleBoard development kits based on the
project, validates their ongoing commitment to open source.”
Linux usage has experienced significant growth beyond
traditional networking applications. The Yocto Project was created
to provide open source, standardized tools, and resources to
support embedded development. As an advisory board member of the
Yocto Project, Mentor Graphics is a key driver of this open source
technology. Building on its previous acquisitions of CodeSourcery
and Embedded Alley, Mentor Graphics continues its leadership of,
and contribution to, open source by participating in the Yocto
Project.
“Intel continues to invest in the Yocto Project to help advance
Linux in embedded devices and we believe the Mentor Embedded Linux
release is a significant milestone and strong validation of the
project,” said David Stewart, senior manager of the Embedded Linux
Team at Intel. “Mentor Graphics is a leading supplier of embedded
solutions and software engineers will benefit tremendously by the
company’s decision to embrace the Yocto Project.”
Mentor Graphics holds over 50 leadership positions including
steering committee members, open source reviewers, and developers
in open source software development projects, including important
leadership roles in the GCC and GDB communities. In addition,
Mentor holds premium membership positions in the open source GENIVI
Alliance and AUTOSAR automotive standards for embedded
software.
“Our announcement today reaffirms Mentor’s commitment to open
source, not only by actively participating in projects such as the
Yocto Project, but also by continuing to serve the unique needs of
the broader open source embedded development community,” said Mark
Mitchell, product line director for tools and open source, Mentor
Graphics Embedded Software Division. “As experts in this area, we
are helping customers make maximum use of open source by developing
semi-custom solutions that meet their needs. We work with our
customers to leverage the standard Mentor Embedded Linux product to
develop Linux-based systems that meet the unique needs of each
end-product.”
The Mentor Embedded Linux platform supporting the Yocto Project
is integrated with the Mentor Sourcery™ CodeBench and Sourcery™
System Analyzer tools. Mentor’s Sourcery CodeBench
professional-quality GNU toolchain is a complete development
environment for embedded C/C++ development on the leading hardware
architectures. The Sourcery System Analyzer tool is a
comprehensive system and application performance analysis tool that
speeds performance analysis on multi-core systems with
visualization of multiple data sources in synchronized timeline
views.
The Mentor Embedded Linux platform includes reference board
support packages (BSPs) for leading hardware platforms, including
those from Broadcom, Freescale, Intel, and Texas Instruments. The
Mentor Embedded Linux platform also supports QEMU, allowing users
to develop Linux systems in simulation without using actual
hardware. For more information on the Mentor Embedded Linux
platform and to download the free PandaBoard and BeagleBoard Linux
Kits, visit http://go.mentor.com/linuxkitpr.
The Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division comprises the
Mentor Embedded family of products and services, including embedded
software intellectual property (IP), tools, and professional
consultant services to help embedded developers and silicon
partners optimize their products for design and cost efficiency.
The Mentor Embedded team continues to lead the industry with
involvement in the open source community, with Inflexion® 2D and 3D
UI development, Sourcery™ open source tools, and Nucleus® RTOS
solutions. More information on Mentor Embedded products and
